BTA technique allows deep, safe and stable machining even in large-sized pieces
BTA drilling is one of the most efficient solutions when you need to perform deep holes in demanding materials or large-sized pieces. At TAES, this technology is part of our daily work, especially in sectors where machining reliability is critical. This process not only allows reaching higher depths with great precision, but also guarantees controlled chip evacuation and better surface quality. In this news we tell you why the BTA system is key to optimize high-performance industrial processes.
What makes BTA drilling special
BTA drilling (Boring and Trepanning Association) is characterized by the use of a single-edge tool, internally cooled with constant pressure, that extracts the chip through the inside of the drill holder tube.
Unlike other methods, BTA achieves greater stability and a finer finish, even in drills that exceed several times the tool diameter.
This technique is ideal for applications in thick components, such as shafts, hydraulic cylinders or industrial mold pieces.
Vibration control and precision in hole alignment are determining factors that only a well-adjusted system with adequate experience can guarantee.
How we do it at TAES
At TAES we work with BTA equipment that allows us to perform deep drilling with rigorous control of feed, pressure and cooling parameters.
Our technical staff adjusts each operation according to the material, length and required tolerance, guaranteeing clean and safe machining.
Thanks to continuous supervision and the use of latest generation measurement tools, we ensure uniformity throughout the entire length of the hole and excellent surface quality.
When the customer requires it, we complement the process with subsequent burnishing or lapping operations to achieve the desired final finish.
Results and value for the customer
The main benefit of BTA drilling is the reduction of machining time without compromising precision.
This translates into savings in adjustment operations and less tool wear.
In addition, the BTA method minimizes risks of breakage or internal defects, which translates into greater reliability and peace of mind in each delivery.
